Nancy Sue Wilson was born on February 20, 1937 in Chillicothe, Ohio,[3][4] the first of six children of Olden Wilson, an iron foundryworker, and Lillian Ryan, a maid.[5][6] Wilson’s father would buy records to listen to at home. At an early age Wilson heard recordings from Billy Eckstine, Nat King Cole, and Jimmy Scott with Lionel Hampton‘s Big Band. Wilson says: “The juke joint down on the block had a great jukebox and there I heard Dinah Washington, Ruth Brown, LaVerne Baker, Little Esther“.[7] Wilson became aware of her talent while singing in church choirs, imitating singers as a young child, and performing in her grandmother’s house during summer visits.[6] By the age of four, she knew she would eventually become a singer.
